GLENSIDE, Pa. - Mike Piekarski became the fifth player in Immaculata University men's basketball history to reach the 1,000 career points threshold Friday night at Arcadia, as the senior guard converted on his first shot of the night - a three-point attempt two minutes into the first half - to accomplish the career milestone. Piekarski accomplished the feat in his 82nd career game as he continues to climb the Mighty Macs' all-time scoring ranks.

The Macs dropped a 98-59 decision to the Knights on the road, as Brandon McCullough, Andre Allen and Asa Kitchen led the Mac offense with nine points apiece.
